(j) DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 10 thereof, a new electrical receptacle embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 10, the magnetized power transfer assembly 10 generally comprises an electricity transmitter 12 configured for transmitting electricity from a power source 14. The electricity transmitter 12 comprises a housing 16 enclosing a transmitter coil 18, wherein the transmitter coil 18 is configured for transmitting electricity. The housing 16 has a first wall 20, a second wall 22, and a perimeter wall 24. The housing 16 has a cylindrical configuration such that the first wall 20 and the second wall 22 are circular and a cross-sectional view of the perimeter wall 24 is circular as shown in FIG. 3. The transmitter coil 18 is positioned adjacent to the second wall 22 within the housing 16 and the second wall 22 is magnetic. A power cord 26 is electrically coupled to the transmitter coil 18 and extends outwardly from the housing 16. The power cord 26 has a receptacle plug 28 configured for inserting into an electrical outlet 30 of the power source 14.

An electricity receiver 32 is configured for receiving electricity from the electricity transmitter 12. The electricity receiver 32 has an electrical receptacle 34 thereon and is configured for receiving an outlet plug 38 of an electrical cable 36, wherein the electricity receiver 32 is configured to provide electricity from the electricity transmitter 12 to the electrical cable 36. The electrical cable 36 may be electrically coupled to a personal electronic device 39 such as a television or a lamp. Alternatively, the electricity receiver 32 may have a universal serial bus port thereon and be configured for receiving a universal serial bus plug. The electricity receiver 32 comprises a casing 40 enclosing a receiver coil 42, wherein the receiver coil 42 is configured for receiving electricity. The casing 40 has a front wall 44, a back wall 46, and a boundary wall 48. The casing 40 has a cubic configuration such that the front wall 44 and the back wall 46 are square shaped and a cross-sectional view of the boundary wall 48 is square shaped as shown in FIG. 6. The receiver coil 42 is positioned adjacent to the back wall 46 within the casing 40, and the back wall 46 is magnetic. The electrical receptacle 34 is positioned on the front wall 44 and is electrically coupled to the receiver coil 42.

A conductor strip 50 is couplable to the electricity transmitter 12 and to the electricity receiver 32. The conductor strip 50 is configured for transferring electricity from the electricity transmitter 12 to the electricity receiver 32 through an open current 52 within the conductor when the electricity transmitter 12 and the electricity receiver 32 are electrically coupled thereto. The conductor strip 50 includes a front surface 54 and a back surface 56. The front surface 54 is magnetic, wherein the front surface 54 is magnetically engageable with the back wall 46 of the electricity receiver 32 and with the second wall 22 of the electricity transmitter 12. The front surface 54 may comprise a ferrous material being conductive and magnetic. A mount 58 is coupled to the conductor strip 50 and is configured for mounting the conductor strip 50 to a surface 60 such as a wall. The mount 58 comprises an adhesive layer 62 positioned on the back surface 56 of the conductor strip 50 and is a pressure sensitive adhesive. Alternatively, the mount 58 may comprise a mounting bracket being configured for suspending from a hanging member such as nails attached to the wall.

In use, the mount 58 of the conductor strip 50 is attached to the surface 60. The receptacle plug 28 of the electricity transmitter 12 is engaged with the electrical outlet 30 of the power source 14 and the second wall 22 of the electricity transmitter 12 is magnetically engaged with the front surface 54 of the conductor strip 50, wherein the electricity transmitter 12 coil transmits electricity to the open current 52 of the conductor strip 50. The back wall 46 of the electricity receiver 32 is magnetically engaged with the front surface 54 of the conductor strip 50, wherein the receiver coil 42 receives electricity from the open current 52 of the conductor strip 50. The electrical receptacle 34 of the electricity receiver 32 may receive the outlet plug 38 of the electrical cable 36, wherein the electricity receiver 32 provides electricity to the electrical cable 36.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
